Publisher's Summary

Night time is the right time....

Gwendolyn Kidd has met the man of her dreams. He's hot, he's sexy, and what started as a no-names-exchanged night of passion has blossomed into a year and a half-long pleasure fest. Sure, it's a little strange that he only appears in her bed at night, but Gwen is so sure he's the one, she just can't turn him away....

Hawk Delgado knows more about Gwen than she could ever imagine. She's gorgeous, headstrong, and skittish about relationships. But Hawk is facing his own demons, demons that keep him from connecting with anyone. Yet when Gwen is drawn into Denver's lethal underground scene, Hawk's protective nature comes out full force. The problem is, when Gwen gets a dose of Hawk's Alpha attitude in the daylight, she's not so sure he's the one anymore....

absolutely fantastic love all these books highly highly recommended. you will laugh cry and be happy with so life like characters wonderful imagery . Ccan't praise them enough , thank you Kristen Ashley for Hawk he is a hero

Got to say. I absolutely loved this book. It had everything. Romance, intrigue, mystery, passion, fashion, fun, lots of emotional drama, and we also get hot, sexy Commandos, Police Officers, Motorcycle Men (we get a Chaos fix) and, best of all, Gabe 'Hawke' Delgado. Hawke is the ultimate alpha male, fighting to protect what's his, and it would appear he has claimed ditzy, clueless Gwen as his own, he just needs to own that decision and not break her heart. I loved the writing, the characters and the story. A firm favourite.

I totally fell all into this book. Alpha males all over the freaking place. Bad guys blowing up stuff, and a hero worthy of role in "An Officer and a Gentleman." Gwen was the bomb. A little dingy but in the best possible way, with a little "Sex In the City" thrown in. I have never seen an author pull off dingy without being annoying, but Kristen Ashley did. And girl!!! I either wanted to become one of her characters or to make them all a reality. One of the best books I have listened to period. And even though Hawk's secretary was only in the latter part of the book, she was my favorite character besides the H and H. I want a friend in my posse just like her. Now on to Kate Russell......O.M.G.! I am soooooo totally in love with your voices. They made KA's character come alive for me. I had the biggest grin on my face. And the men sound totally yummy. Girl, when I heard the Hawk's secretary for the first time I spewed water out of my mouth! She was a hoot!!!!

Okay, if you have to ask is this worth a credit. STOP! Just go download the dang book!!!! :)

"A complete roller coaster ride of emotions. "

The Dream Man series starts with Gwen and Hawk. While their year and half "romance" is not your standard fling, their passion and possession are off the charts. There is a lot of action in this book as well as great sex scenes. For me it was an emotional roller coaster and I loved every minute. I was completely sucked into this story. The plot was intriguing. Lots of twists and turns. If you like the ultimate dominant alpha male and a sexy sassy heroine with a love story filled with suspense then you need to listen to this book. Each character are hot and completely lovable. The love is beautiful, the plot fabulous. It was an excellent, fast paced, and action packed book. Kristen Ashley definitely has a fan for life. I hope audible starts to offer her Rock Chick series soon!

"#1 KA Fan"

What made the experience of listening to Mystery Man the most enjoyable?

It was not.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All of them!!!!!!!

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kate Russell?

A male

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

Love, love, LOVE KA!!!! I've read MM four times, but I could not listen to it. The best part of her books are the Alpha males but K Russell can not pull that off. Hawk sounds like a old lady and I just could not handle that. Such a disappointment.

"Love Kristen Ashley, the narrator, not so much."

Where does Mystery Man rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Pretty high. I've read all of Kristen Ashley's books, and was very happy to see them offered on audio.

What did you like best about this story?

I agree with other reviews in that the storyline and characters are not real world, but if I wanted to read/listen to real world, I'd stick to history and biography. This is a work of fiction, who cares if it's real? It's enough to just live in the fantasy for a while.

What three words best describe Kate Russell’s voice?

Too New Jersey. This book is set in Colorado, why does everyone seem to have a New Jersey accent?

"Loved it ......Eventually !"

This book was a exercise in perseverance for me. I didn't know the author and I hated it when I first started listening to it - didn't like the characters, didn't care for the narrator and the plot was ridiculous (a sibling being expected to pay off her sister's multi-million dollar debt). I decided to return it to Audible but it was late so I decided to listen to another 30 mins and return it in the morning. Well, 30 mins turned into 1 hour 30 mins and by the morning I had got to a funny part and wanted to find out what happened so I decided to give it another hour. After that some really great characters had shown up and I had to listen to some more because I really enjoyed them (I'm talking Elvyra especially here). And so it went on. Nine hours of listening later I had to admit I was hooked.

So, if you try this book and hate it - persevere. Once you get into the style and the characters and you've laughed out loud a few hundred times it is actually an absolute gem. I'm so glad I stuck with it.

"Love the story, hate the narration"

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I absolutely recommend Kristen's books.

Would you be willing to try another one of Kate Russell’s performances?

No. I've read Mystery Man twice, and I love it. But the more I listen to the narrated version, the more I dislike it. The inflection, the tone, and the emotion are just not adding up for me. The whiney voice she uses for the secondary characters, and the weird whispery voice she uses for the main character make everyone seem weak and annoying.

"Wow....I really needed this!"

After 4 or 5 very disappointing books I decided to just not "listen" for awhile. This book was FABULOUS!. This narrator is perfectly GENIUS. She read this book perfectly. Just made the writing! My first book with this author and she got everything right. Most people cannot write "drama" like this. It was funny, and scary, and sexy and and and. You should get this book it was a breath of fresh air. I loved it. It may actually be YA not sure but it made my day.

"Fan-Freaking-Tastic!"

This was just what I needed! I was stuck in my book club's monthly selection that was slow and not picking up the pace, so I stopped that audio to try and find something adventurous, fun, hot, and juicy...you know something you can sink your teeth into? I found it all right here! Adventurous enough to have my adrenaline still pumping, so much fun my cheeks still hurt from grinning, Hot to the point of beating the heat of this Louisiana summer, and so juicy I can feel it dripping off my chin! Mystery Man makes into my top 10 of contemporary romances, maybe even top 5 but that's to hard to narrow down. This novel has it ALL ladies and gentlemen...you will laugh out loud in the middle of the grocery store, have you crying and with a baffled husband cause he doesn't understand why, make you so mad the kids will wonder what they did wrong, and have you so hot and bothered you wish you hadn't started listening at work! All of that was true by the way, if you couldn't tell, because once I started this audio I COULD NOT STOP! I was not able to with the way the author just tosses you into the story and you are gripped from the dang prologue! I could go into detail as to why I LOVED EVERY SECOND of this book but then I might go on forever so just TRUST ME on this one guys...Our heroine is a total day dreaming girly girl but incredibly lovable, our hero is infuriating yet perfect Alpha Soldier (Don't you just love a good drool worthy soldier?), and all supporting characters were amazingly well rounded bringing a lot of great humor and realistic qualities to help you relate to this sometimes out-of-this world story. This whole novel is well rounded in fact, with high voltage action, comedy, hot romance, and just the right amount of heart break before it wraps up so nicely it makes you sigh because it was wonderful and now its over. I will definitely be re-listening to Mystery Man on a day when I can't make up my mind on what to move onto next, and YOU should get your first listen on RIGHT NOW,credit or no credit, this one is worth your money!

"AWESOME! Kristen Ashley's books are the best!"

When a book makes you want to stop at chapter 2 and review it, so everyone in the world can enjoy pure happiness... Well then, I say 5-Stars, Sir... 5-Stars!

Hawk was a great, great character....hot and smexy and a total bad-ass.... but Gwen! Gwenie was awesome. I totally loved her air-head meets smexy chic, although highly intelligent attitude. She was a perfect Commando's Woman....

I really like the secondary characters in the book. Elvira, man I really want Elvira to have her own book... Next was Tracy... and Cam and Leo! Loved it... I also loved the other two bad-asses in this book, which was Mitch Lawson and Tack Allen. If you have listen to Own the Wind...then you should know who Tack Allen is... Tack actually will have his own book, at the end of this series... and I just cannot wait to hear Mitch's story. He is the next bad-ass to find a hot Cosmo Chic!

Ashley books are really true to their characters. For instance, the bad-asses remain bad-asses throughout the entire book... they don't change halfway through into these love struck wimps... They remain bad-asses with that special one who can handle the shit they dish out! All the females who fall for these bad-asses are quite strong as well... Perfect Combination...

The smex was also great... not too much, not too little... just perfect. I don't think there was anything wrong with this entire book..

Narration was great. Loved Hawk's voice! So smooth and smexy... Babe!

A Buy, Credit, or Sale... whatever...just get this...!!!!

"Not sure if the story or the narration is worse"

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A different narrator would be a good place to start. Or maybe have Kate Russell try again. She's not always bad, but man, she was awful in this one.

What could Kristen Ashley have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Made the h less of a bubble-head. I think KA tried to bring her off as sassy/cute; instead she was super annoying and not very likable. There were issues with the H as well. I mean, I like an alpha guy as much as the next girl, but he was ridiculous in the beginning. I'm just happy to say that he did improve as the story went on. Unfortunately, I can't say that for our bubble-headed heroine.

What didn’t you like about Kate Russell’s performance?

Everything. I get that she didn't have much to work with since the h is so inane, but Kate somehow made it worse through exaggeration. I felt like I lost IQ points just listening to her.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

It ended well. The last part of the book was really well done. KA is really good at that. Some of her books that were just OK through a large portion of the story have gotten 5-star-reviews from me because, by the end, I couldn't put them down.

Any additional comments?

I love most of Kristen Ashley's books. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them.
